come to my office after get off work
Chapter 35
Jiang Shu found that Ji Lianxing could bring her a good mood, it was the kind of happiness from the heart.
So after dancing that dance that didn't look like a dance, Jiang Shu began to really think about a question, is it true that she can't have feelings for others?
A person who decides to die alone and finds a hundred lovers starts to think about what love is.
She looked at Ji Lianxing's face, it was a face that made her feel fresh and had a good impression for a short time, but she didn't know how long this fresh feeling would last.
After thinking for a few seconds, Jiang Shu felt that happiness and love were two different things, and ended the absurd thinking in his head in time.
Afterwards, they had breakfast together. On the way, Ji Lianxing's roommate came back from get off work and met Jiang Shu face to face.
Ji Lianxing told her roommate that Jiang Shu was her sister, exchanged some pleasantries, the roommate didn't think much, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
"Today is the anniversary of my brother's death. Xiao Tan and I are going to the cemetery. Are you going?"
"can."
Speaking of Jiang Shu's elder brother, Ji Lianxing was a little curious. Having experienced what happened last time, Ji Lianxing probably knew that Jiang Shu's elder brother died accidentally, and hearing Jiang Shu's tone last time, it seemed that he was still a little bit curious. guilt.
"Then go pick up Jiang Xiaotan from my parents after dinner."
After breakfast, Ji Lianxing got into Jiang Shu's car, and the two headed to the suburbs.
The weather is good today, Ji Lianxing is sitting in the co-pilot, looking out the window, the sun shines on her cheeks through the glass, and there is a little warmth, Ji Lianxing squints her eyes comfortably, feeling that a sunny day is better than a cloudy day good.
"By the way, Jiang Xiaotan seems to like you very much." Jiang Shu said casually.
"Really?" Ji Lianxing glanced sideways at her, "Actually, I quite like her too."
"This child should be able to feel it. She has strong observation skills." Jiang Shu deliberately glanced at Ji Lianxing, and she found that Jiang Xiaotan was similar to Ji Lianxing when she was a child, both in appearance and personality.
"By the way, Mr. Jiang." Ji Lianxing hesitated, but still asked: "Where's Xiaotan's mother?"
When they first joined the company, everyone said that Li Xiangyan and Jiang Shu were married, and their child was Jiang Xiaotan.
It was only later that Ji Lianxing found out that Xiao Tan was Jiang Shu's brother's daughter.
Today is the anniversary of Jiang Shu's brother's death, but he didn't hear any news about Jiang Shu's sister-in-law, so he couldn't help being a little curious.
"Xiao Tan's mother also passed away." Jiang Shu held the steering wheel and tapped it a few times, as if thinking about something, "Actually, she is my brother's adopted child."
"what?!"
Jiang Shu was not surprised by this astonishment, and explained: "My grandfather is a soldier, and so is my brother. Xiao Tan is the daughter of my brother's comrade-in-arms, who once saved my brother's life."
"What about the comrades in arms?"
"Dead, it was a serious fire incident, and it was on the news. Only Jiang Xiaotan survived in their family. She was only eight months old at that time. My brother brought her home through legal procedures. From that day on, she They are our relatives."
Ji Lianxing was thoughtful, recalling Jiang Xiaotan's first impression of her as an extremely sunny and optimistic child. She could feel that she grew up in that kind of warm family, but she didn't think about her and herself. Same parents died.
"Does Xiao Tan know?"
"She doesn't know, we are going to tell her when she is an adult, it is too young for her."
Ji Lianxing nodded, agreeing with this point of view. Although children are young and don't understand many things, they are actually quite sensitive, especially when it comes to this kind of thing. They should not be too hasty, and they must be careful to avoid psychological problems during their growth.
The car drove out of the city and entered the suburbs.
"By the way, maybe my parents will invite you to sit at home later."
"Ah?" Ji Lianxing became cramped in an instant, but what Jiang Shu said reminded her that she was going to see her parents! ! !
“Forgot to buy something!!!”
Ji Lianxing looked out the window and found that the car had already driven out of the city, surrounded by bungalows and few places to sell things.
"You don't need to buy anything. My parents don't care about that." Jiang Shu felt that Ji Lianxing seemed a little nervous, and comforted her: "My parents are very good-natured, and I will introduce you as my friend later. .”
Jiang Shu spoke calmly, but Ji Lianxing's nervousness only increased.
Perhaps because of the lack of getting along with the elders, Ji Lianxing will feel scared.
For example, when she was in high school, she went to Yu Meng's house. Yu Meng's parents were obviously nice and enthusiastic, but Ji Lianxing was just afraid, even trembling when she spoke.
Subconsciously, I am afraid that I will not perform well and leave a bad impression on my elders. This is accumulated over a long period of time, and it is difficult to change.
"Don't be nervous, little hedgehog, we won't be here for long, just sit for ten minutes and leave."
"Ah."
After driving for nearly half an hour, I finally arrived at a small bungalow in the outskirts. The design of the bungalow is very elegant, and it can be seen that the owner has a very high taste.
Ji Lianxing was really surprised by the small garden in front of the gate. The vitality brought by the plants was too strong. When I opened the door and entered, I felt like I was in a sea of flowers, as if I was dreaming.
"My parents love to grow flowers." Jiang Shu pointed to the corner of the fence, "Look at this box of gemstone flowers, they just planted them when I came back last week."
"Gem flower!" Ji Lianxing squatted down and reached out to gently touch the lavender petals, "I used to have a lot of them in my house, and they grew very luxuriantly, and they were all on the roof railing."
Jiang Shu looked at her, smiled and said, "Do you like it? Take it back if you like it."
Ji Lianxing withdrew her hand and shook her head, "It's good to put it here, it's so lively with its partners, it seems a bit lonely with me."
"Shushu!!! Sister Hedgehog!!!"
If you haven't seen him, hear his voice first.
Jiang Xiaotan's immature voice was very penetrating, and then she was seen running towards this side in a yellow jacket.
Jiang Xiaotan ran towards the two with her hands open, with a happy laugh out of her throat. She stepped on the small cobblestone road and ran faster and faster.
"Slow down!" Before Jiang Shu's voice reached Jiang Xiaotan's ears, Jiang Xiaotan staggered and fell directly onto the hard rock.
Her smile instantly turned into a crying face.
"Ah whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa..."
Jiang Shu and Ji Lianxing ran towards her almost at the same time, and helped Jiang Xiaotan up at the same time, but she still cried, and the loud crying sound penetrated into their ears, comparable to a triple orchestra playing in unison.
"Hey, don't cry..." Jiang Shu patted Jiang Xiaotan on the back.
"Woooooo...I, I hurt...I can't bear it!!!"
"Be strong, I'll show you." Jiang Shu lifted up Jiang Xiaotan's trouser legs. Fortunately, she wore thick trousers, so it was only slightly scratched.
But children's ability to bear the pain is too weak, Jiang Xiaotan is still crying, and Jiang Shu rarely coaxes others, and doesn't know what to say except those few words.
But Ji Lianxing had to be more patient. She took Jiang Xiaotan's hand and hugged her into her arms.
"Does it still hurt?" The tone was quite gentle, and children liked it very much.
Jiang Xiaotan nodded, with tears in his eyes, "It hurts."
"Sister, will you blow it up for you?"
"it is good."
"It won't hurt anymore." Ji Lianxing blew on Jiang Xiaotan's knee a few times, and Jiang Xiaotan felt icy cold. After blowing, Ji Lianxing added: "The few blows just now I just gave you medicine, and you'll be fine soon."
After being fooled, Jiang Xiaotan still looked serious, nodding to show that the pain really didn't hurt that much.
Jiang Shu, who was standing by the side, was stunned for a moment. It seemed that Ji Lianxing was better at coaxing children than she was.
"It doesn't hurt, does it? It doesn't hurt, let's go into the room." Jiang Shu stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Xiaotan, but Jiang Xiaotan withdrew his hand, turned around and threw himself into Ji Lianxing's arms.
"Sister Hedgehog, I need a hug!"
Although Ji Lianxing, who was called the hedgehog, was a little embarrassed, she didn't know where Jiang Xiaotan heard it, but she couldn't resist the spoiled child at all, so she hugged Jiang Xiaotan in her arms again.
"Okay, sister hugs you."
Standing aside, Jiang Shu frowned. Seeing Jiang Xiaotan happily in Ji Lianxing's arms, holding hands and hugging, Ji Lianxing didn't treat her so well, did he?
"Jiang Xiaotan, you really know how to act like a baby!" Jiang Shu opened his hands, trying to take Jiang Xiaotan into his arms.
"Shushu doesn't need your hug, I want my sister to hug her." The chubby put his arms around Ji Lianxing's neck tightly, and even kissed her face.
Jiang Shu's hand hanging in the air was retracted again, feeling that... this Jiang Xiaotan was too coquettish!That's her little hedgehog!
"Where's grandpa and grandma!" Jiang Shu's tone carried a subtle feeling.
"I'm making breakfast!"
Jiang Shu sneaked a glance at Ji Lianxing, then at Jiang Xiaotan.
"Get inside, hurry up."
Ji Lianxing cooperated very well, following Jiang Shu into the house, her steps were fast, because she could hardly hold her anymore, and Xiao Tan was really heavy.
Fortunately, at the entrance, Jiang Xiaotan was successfully picked up by Jiang Shu, otherwise his arm strength would really fail.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Jiang Shu beckoned to Ji Lianxing, pulled her over, and said to the second elder in the kitchen, "This is the friend I told you about."
Ji Lianxing stood next to Jiang Shu, his eyes fell on the kitchen corridor, and soon two figures came from the glass door, the one holding the spatula was Jiang Yidong, and the one wearing an apron was Zhou Xuelan.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt~"
"Hey! Hello, hello!" Jiang Yidong shook the spatula in his hand and greeted Ji Lianxing. His facial expression was quite kind, which made Ji Lianxing's nervousness dissipate a lot.
Zhou Xuelan was not as active as Jiang Yidong, and her personality was a little more restrained, but the smile on her face remained unchanged, with a faint smile on her lips, beckoning the two of them to enter the room.
"Come in and sit down~ have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten." Jiang Shu and Ji Lianxing said in unison. They turned their heads and looked at each other with a smile. Jiang Shu added in a low voice: "We still have a tacit understanding?"
She dragged Ji Lianxing to sit on the sofa.
There was a faint smell of corn from the kitchen, and the elder seemed to be making corn cakes for Jiang Xiaotan.
After a few seconds, Jiang Yidong's head appeared again, and he said with a smile, "Have you really eaten it? Do you want to eat some more?"
Ji Lianxing just met his gaze, and she didn't know how to refuse, but she was indeed not hungry.
Jiang Shu was the first to answer for her: "Dad, I really can't eat anymore. You should feed Xiao Tan quickly. We will go to see brother later."
When he said "Brother", the smile on Jiang Yidong's face froze for a moment, and it took only a second for him to return to his original appearance.
"If you don't eat cakes, you can also drink some porridge. It will be ready soon."
Five minutes later, Jiang Xiaotan came to the table to eat. The breakfast prepared for her was very rich, including porridge, cakes, yogurt and fruit, which is called a balanced diet.
Adults seem to have no appetite, but children eat well.
"The flowers I prepared for your brother will be brought with me when I go out later. They are the white chrysanthemums I planted last year." Zhou Xuelan said.
"Well, by the way, Mom, the gemstone flowers on the outside gate are quite beautiful, pick one for me later, and I will raise it when I go back."
Hearing Jiang Shu say this, Ji Lianxing shifted to Jiang Shu unconsciously, her eyes just met Jiang Shu's, she saw the answer in Jiang Shu's eyes, the jewel flower was for her.
"Like it? I like to take the whole box." Zhou Xuelan is bold, and has never been stingy with her children when it comes to her belongings.
Ji Lianxing was silent, listening to them, drinking porridge quietly, although not hungry.
She observed secretly, and felt that Zhou Xuelan had an elegant temperament, very clean, not delicate and artificial, and this elder gave her a very comfortable feeling.
"By the way, Jiang Shu, why don't you introduce your friend?" Zhou Xuelan raised his eyes, looked at Ji Lianxing, and smiled at her.
The topic suddenly shifted to himself, Ji Lianxing was a little caught off guard, and hurriedly introduced himself: "Auntie, my surname is Ji, Ji Lianxing, just call me Xiaoji."
"Oh, Xiao Ji, it's good. You and Jiang Shu have just been together, right?" Zhou Xuelan said so naturally.
But it was such a simple sentence that completely confused Ji Lianxing.
If I remember correctly, when Jiang Shu entered the room, he introduced "friends", right?Between friends, would you use "together" to describe it?
etc!together!Does Jiang Shu's mother know——
Ji Lianxing shot Jiang Shu a look for help, but she didn't know how to answer.
"Pfft, Mom." Jiang Shu put one hand on the back of Zhou Xuelan's hand and patted it, "I just said that Xiao Ji is my friend."
"Oh~~" Zhou Xuelan showed an apologetic expression, "I misunderstood your relationship."
Jiang Yidong coaxed Jiang Xiaotan to eat the whole time, and he only interrupted when this topic came up:
"By the way, you'll be thirty in the next year, shouldn't it be time for a stable relationship? Even if you have a girlfriend, bring one home?"
"I know, but I can't find anyone I like." Jiang Shu blurted out.
The film in Ji Lianxing's hand trembled, her lips were tightly pressed, and she lowered her head to drink the porridge.
Just now Jiang Shu's expression was so natural, showing his true feelings to her family, so the sentence "I can't find someone I like" is from the heart, right?
She was indeed just a sexual tool in Jiang Shu's eyes. Although he knew it, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard those words.
Jiang Shu also seemed to realize something, hurriedly went to look at Ji Lianxing, and found that there seemed to be something wrong with her expression, and then realized that she seemed to be talking too fast just now.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry about my affairs." Jiang Shu glanced at Jiang Xiaotan impatiently, "Have you finished eating? We're leaving after eating."
Jiang Xiaotan put down the bowl and chopsticks, expressing that he was very interested in going out, "It's over, it's over, it's over!!!!"
*
In autumn, the sun is shining brightly, and the sun's rays are not stingy on the palm trees on the road, and the trunks are covered with a layer of golden light.
The car was galloping on the asphalt road, and Jiang Xiaotan obediently sat in the co-pilot watching cartoons on Jiang Shu's mobile phone.
Ji Lianxing sat in the back seat, which was requested by her.
Driving in the suburbs, the speed is faster than in the city. Ji Lianxing stared sideways out of the window, one palm tree after another quickly passed in front of his eyes, and the sunlight poured into the gaps in the leaves from the branches, forming a gleaming Milky Way.
Jiang Shu didn't speak, neither did Ji Lianxing.
Their silence started from the phrase "I can't find someone I like".
How long is this road?
Ji Lianxing looked at this straight asphalt road, as if it had no end.
What about her?How long is this illusory relationship with Jiang Shu, which seems to be love but is actually nothing?
Ji Lianxing understood that she still had expectations for Jiang Shu after all.
At the moment of kissing her and hugging her to sleep, she really had that illusion.
She even thought, would Jiang Shu have a little affection for her?
Sure enough, once people are not awake, they will have delusions, how is it possible?Finding truth in a game is as absurd as finding a flower in a fig.
"Little hedgehog." Jiang Shu spoke first.
She has looked at Ji Lianxing several times from the rearview mirror, and she doesn't know what she is thinking, maybe it has something to do with what happened just now.
"Ok?"
"What are you thinking?"
Ji Lianxing propped his chin with one hand, and looked out the window the whole time, "I don't think about anything, let go."
Jiang Xiaotan's cartoon made childish fighting sounds. She was immersed in the world of cartoons, and she didn't understand the emotions between these two adults at all.
"Do not misunderstand."
"will not."
So the atmosphere became more silent.
After driving for 10 minutes, Ji Lianxing was a little tired when she arrived at the cemetery. She suddenly felt sleepy and wanted to have a good sleep.
Jiang Shu took out the bouquets from the trunk. There were two bouquets in total, both of which were brightly blooming white chrysanthemums.
"Little hedgehog." Jiang Shu called Ji Lianxing, "Don't be in a daze, keep up."
The cemetery is a modern cemetery, neatly planned and cleaned by someone who needs to pay a regular fee, so it is also very clean.
There was a smell of smoke in the air.Jiang Xiaotan walked between the two adults, looking around like a curious baby, but he didn't even feel scared.
"Shushu, how long is it?"
"Ahead, we'll be there soon."
"You didn't bring me here last year, hum."
"You were sick last year, why did I bring you here?" Jiang Shu stopped in front of a tombstone, with a black and white photo embedded on it, the man in the photo had a handsome face, his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Jiang Shu's.
"Father!" Jiang Xiaotan yelled at the man in the photo, his eyes fell on the tombstone next door, and he yelled again: "Dad!"
Jiang Shu handed the two bouquets of white chrysanthemums to Jiang Xiaotan and asked her to put the flowers in front of the two tombstones.
"Shushu, why are these two my fathers?"
"I'll tell you when I grow up."
"Then why don't grandparents come every time?"
"They will be sad."
"Then why aren't you sad?"
Jiang Shu touched Jiang Xiaotan's head and smiled helplessly, "You are the one with a hundred thousand reasons."
Ji Lianxing, who was standing by the side, was a little at a loss when she heard it. One hundred thousand reasons reminded her of last night, a night with dreamy elements, as pale and powerless as its essence.
The atmosphere in the cemetery was a bit dull, and Ji Lianxing had no desire to speak. She thought of her uncle, or her mother again. Looking at the photo on the tombstone, she began to think, is the tombstone a kind of shackle for the dead?It would be better to be burned to ashes than to be pressed into the narrow soil and to sleep forever in the ground.
"You seem to be in a bad mood." Jiang Shu said.
"A little bit." Ji Lianxing pursed her lips, her face pale.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have brought you here, it reminded you of unhappy things."
"It's not because of this." Ji Lianxing lowered her head, she wanted to ignore the loss, but the loss still climbed up in her heart, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter what.
"That's because of that sentence." Jiang Shu said bluntly: "Because of that sentence, you are unhappy."
"No." Ji Lianxing's lips turned pale, and his palms were sweating, "I may be a little motion sick."
"Of course I like you." Jiang Shu put a hand on her shoulder, comforting her, "Don't think too much."
"Boss Jiang, don't do this."
Jiang Xiaotan had sharp ears, heard it, and said with a smile: "I like you too!!!"
How perfect is the child's world, you can see how happy she is smiling.
*
In the evening, Ji Lianxing still goes to the bar to sing. Saturday is usually her home game, and it is also the day when she makes the most money.
Familiar venue, hearing those few songs that make ears callused, and singing those few songs with tired voice, Ji Lianxing is a little tired of this kind of life, when will it be the end?
"Hi everyone, I'm Bella, long time no see, do you remember me?"
Even the opening remarks were exactly the same, the fanatical fans in the audience shouted hysterically, and Ji Lianxing sang one song after another until fireworks exploded on the screen behind him.
Mr. Zhang at the VIP booth threw another 20 fireworks, which was the one from last week, Mr. Zhang Mingyue.
"Mr. Zhang, what song do you want to hear?"
Zhang Mingyue at the booth raised a hand and greeted Ji Lianxing.
"I like everything you sing."
There was a burst of cheers from the audience, but there were also disdainful slaps.
"Bella is ours. Listen to music as soon as you listen to it, order what you want, what's so greasy!"
Mr. Wang next to Zhang Mingyue was very arrogant, and shouted at the students downstairs: "Huang Mao boy, do you believe that I can kill you with money?"
"It's amazing to have bad money!"
So Zhang Mingyue threw another 20 fireworks and asked the boys downstairs with a smile:
"Is it your living expenses for a semester?"
"Hahahaha-"
"Fuck, lethal blow!!!"
"Awesome, rich and willful!"
The man booed for a while, and the scene became uncontrollable. Ji Lianxing had a headache. In order to avoid unnecessary quarrels, she blew on the microphone:
"Mr. Zhang, I give you the song "Wish You Happy Everyday"."
The atmosphere eased a little, Ji Lianxing continued to sing the whole song patiently, and went to the backstage for an intermission.
The person who replaced her was Willow. At the beginning, Jiang Shu was introduced to someone she knew, and the two had a face-to-face meeting. Ji Lianxing was sitting on a stool drinking water. Now she tries to avoid talking to Willow, because it will be awkward.
As a result, Willow stopped her:
"Xiao Ji, let's discuss something."
"what?"
"Boss Zhang asked you for WeChat."
"Reject it for me, thank you."
"He said to invite you to dinner, do you think about it?"
"Not consider."
"Row."
Here Willow is walking reluctantly, his face is full of you sure?
Ji Lianxing pretended to drink water and didn't look at her expression. She was very sad, probably Willow had already classified her as the type of person who "just give money", otherwise he wouldn't have introduced Zhang Mingyue.
Going to see Jiang Shu was the decision Ji Lianxing regretted the most.
Rich, gentle, and a woman, and then went, Ji Lianxing felt that she was really stupid at that time.
The bar continued to play music again and again, and the harsh sound hit Ji Lianxing's eardrums. The feeling that she didn't belong here became stronger and stronger, and she even wanted to leave, if it wasn't for the money.
Money, money again.
Ji Lianxing took a sip of water and walked into the work room to rest.After sitting for a while, a person came in outside.
Visually, he is in his 30s, with a suit and shiny leather shoes, giving people the feeling that he has just left work.He was thin, tall, and sharp-looking, with pomaded hair that looked greasy in the flickering colored lights.
He walked towards Ji Lianxing, and when he was five or six meters away, Ji Lianxing realized that this person was the one who tipped her, Zhang Mingyue.
"Mr. Zhang." Ji Lianxing put down the water in his hand and stood up.
"Hello, beauty." Zhang Mingyue took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of small eyes with an ambiguous light in them. He stretched out a hand, wanting to shake hands with Ji Lianxing.
Ji Lianxing didn't hold it, and stepped back without a trace, keeping a distance from him, "Hello, what's the matter?"
"How do you think about that?"
That thing, well, stinks.
When he spoke, there was a smell of garlic in his mouth, and Ji Lianxing was a little suffocated. When he saw his smile, his stomach turned upside down and he felt quite sick.
"Sorry, I have a date." Ji Lianxing pinched the phone and observed the surrounding situation. There were people at the dressing table and security guards at the door. Zhang Mingyue should not dare to do anything.
"I heard that you used to accompany me to the hotel. Does your boyfriend know what happened not long ago?" He smiled smugly.
It only took Ji Lianxing a second to realize that it was Willow who said it, and she answered in silence, not wanting to explain too much.
"It's okay, you can think about it." Zhang Mingyue smiled, "I like you very much. If you are not satisfied with the price, you can change it."
"Mr. Zhang, did I speak clearly?" Ji Lianxing couldn't help it, she was afraid that she would slap this man in the face.
"I can see that you are very good at pretending." Zhang Mingyue wanted to get close to Ji Lianxing, and Ji Lianxing quickly distanced himself from him.
"This is our workshop. You interrupted my work. There are security guards at the door."
Zhang Mingyue's small eyes widened, as if he didn't insult Ji Lianxing, he was in a very uncomfortable mood, he turned around and saw that there was indeed a security guard at the door.
"Think about it? 15, which is more money than you can make by singing."
"Security, please deal with it." Ji Lianxing beckoned to the security personnel, who immediately came in and invited Zhang Mingyue out.
"Yo, you can really pretend, I like it." Zhang Mingyue yelled at Ji Lianxing before going out, and the air was full of the smell of garlic left by him.
Ji Lianxing was so smoked that she was in a bad mood, and she herself was not in a good mood today. The appearance of Zhang Mingyue pulled her mood to the bottom.
After singing in the second half, I dragged my tired body out of the bar, only to find that it was already raining, and the door was full of people who took taxis. There were more than 100 taxi-hailing software queues. It seemed that there would be no taxis for a while.
Ji Lianxing ran to the convenience store opposite to buy an umbrella, and was about to walk to Jiang Shu's house, which would take about ten minutes.
The rain was not heavy, not to the extent of a heavy rain, but the air was a little humid and the temperature was a little low.
The raindrops slapped on the umbrella surface, and the cold wind penetrated into Ji Lianxing's sleeves, making her whole body icy cold.
In her head is still Zhang Mingyue's face just now, which is almost as disgusting as Ji Siyu's. The longer she sang in the bar, she felt that there are actually many men like them, which strengthened Ji Lianxing's idea that she must work hard Money, independent self-improvement, never attached to others.
"I'm not fucking drunk at all! Believe it or not, I can still blow two bottles! It's so trivial!!!" A drunk man across the road yelled loudly.
That's right, besides lust, he also likes to disturb the people and brag.
Ji Lianxing lowered his head and quickened his pace, his eyes fell on the ground, watching his feet go forward and then forward, not wanting to stop for a second.
The footsteps became faster and faster, and the ground made a rattling sound.Walking at the corner of the street, she bumped into a hug, and a burst of fragrance penetrated into her nostrils.
"Walking so fast without looking at the road?"
Ji Lianxing raised his head, his eyes fell into the dark brown pupils, gentle as the sea, it was Jiang Shu.
"It's raining." Ji Lianxing put the umbrella on top of Jiang Shu's head, "Why don't you take an umbrella?"
"It wasn't raining when I came to pick you up." Jiang Shu took the umbrella and turned into her holding an umbrella for Ji Lianxing.
"Why pick me up."
The two walked side by side, Jiang Shu put one hand on Ji Lianxing's shoulder and pulled her into his arms, and held her an umbrella with the other hand, the umbrella surface was obviously inclined to Ji Lianxing's side.
"Silly, why pick you up, pick you up and go home."
"I can go home if you don't pick me up." Ji Lianxing's tone was a little cold, she felt that her tone was a little girlish, as if she was still angry about what happened in the morning, she couldn't help it.
"I want to pick you up, so you'll be safer." Jiang Shu had a smile in her eyes, she noticed that Ji Lianxing's nose was red, she probably felt cold because of too little clothes, "Are you still angry about what happened in the morning? "
"No, what happened in the morning?" Ji Lianxing admired his duplicity.
"Pfft." Jiang Shu pinched Ji Lianxing's cheek, "You have an unnatural expression when you're lying."
Ji Lianxing stopped talking.
But she was happy in her heart, because Jiang Shu came to pick her up.
"Actually, I was fooling my mother by saying that in the morning. She is always nagging me about my relationship."
"Oh."
"How about I tell her that you are my girlfriend next time?"
"No." Ji Lianxing's voice was shaking from the cold.
Jiang Shu took her coat and wrapped her in his arms, it was as cold as ice.
"Look, you don't want to."
"I'm not a couple, why do you say I'm your girlfriend?"
"Actually, I quite like you, little hedgehog."
Ji Lianxing's heart trembled, she seemed to be teased by Jiang Shu's words, but she felt that there was a high probability that it was false.
"You're always joking."
"No kidding."
"I do not believe."
At this time, a taxi sped past on the street, setting off a burst of water, which splashed on Jiang Shu's pants.
"Look, I don't even believe in taxis."
"Eh? I got wet, you're talking sarcastic, little hedgehog."
"When it's wet, it's wet, and I didn't get wet."
"Huh?" Jiang Shu cast a look.
Ji Lianxing received the signal, realized something, and regretted what he said without thinking.
"Go home soon, it's raining heavily." Ji Lianxing quickened his pace, his cheeks were hot.
Instead of following her, Jiang Shu shook the water from the umbrella onto her body, obviously on purpose.
Ji Lianxing stopped in disbelief, "Boss Jiang! You wet me!!!"
"Sorry, my fault."
"You deliberately."
Jiang Shu laughed out loud, "I didn't."
So after dancing that dance that didn't look like a dance, Jiang Shu began to really think about a question, is it true that she can't have feelings for others?
A person who decides to die alone and finds a hundred lovers starts to think about what love is.
She looked at Ji Lianxing's face, it was a face that made her feel fresh and had a good impression for a short time, but she didn't know how long this fresh feeling would last.
After thinking for a few seconds, Jiang Shu felt that happiness and love were two different things, and ended the absurd thinking in his head in time.
Afterwards, they had breakfast together. On the way, Ji Lianxing's roommate came back from get off work and met Jiang Shu face to face.
Ji Lianxing told her roommate that Jiang Shu was her sister, exchanged some pleasantries, the roommate didn't think much, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
"Today is the anniversary of my brother's death. Xiao Tan and I are going to the cemetery. Are you going?"
"can."
Speaking of Jiang Shu's elder brother, Ji Lianxing was a little curious. Having experienced what happened last time, Ji Lianxing probably knew that Jiang Shu's elder brother died accidentally, and hearing Jiang Shu's tone last time, it seemed that he was still a little bit curious. guilt.
"Then go pick up Jiang Xiaotan from my parents after dinner."
After breakfast, Ji Lianxing got into Jiang Shu's car, and the two headed to the suburbs.
The weather is good today, Ji Lianxing is sitting in the co-pilot, looking out the window, the sun shines on her cheeks through the glass, and there is a little warmth, Ji Lianxing squints her eyes comfortably, feeling that a sunny day is better than a cloudy day good.
"By the way, Jiang Xiaotan seems to like you very much." Jiang Shu said casually.
"Really?" Ji Lianxing glanced sideways at her, "Actually, I quite like her too."
"This child should be able to feel it. She has strong observation skills." Jiang Shu deliberately glanced at Ji Lianxing, and she found that Jiang Xiaotan was similar to Ji Lianxing when she was a child, both in appearance and personality.
"By the way, Mr. Jiang." Ji Lianxing hesitated, but still asked: "Where's Xiaotan's mother?"
When they first joined the company, everyone said that Li Xiangyan and Jiang Shu were married, and their child was Jiang Xiaotan.
It was only later that Ji Lianxing found out that Xiao Tan was Jiang Shu's brother's daughter.
Today is the anniversary of Jiang Shu's brother's death, but he didn't hear any news about Jiang Shu's sister-in-law, so he couldn't help being a little curious.
"Xiao Tan's mother also passed away." Jiang Shu held the steering wheel and tapped it a few times, as if thinking about something, "Actually, she is my brother's adopted child."
"what?!"
Jiang Shu was not surprised by this astonishment, and explained: "My grandfather is a soldier, and so is my brother. Xiao Tan is the daughter of my brother's comrade-in-arms, who once saved my brother's life."
"What about the comrades in arms?"
"Dead, it was a serious fire incident, and it was on the news. Only Jiang Xiaotan survived in their family. She was only eight months old at that time. My brother brought her home through legal procedures. From that day on, she They are our relatives."
Ji Lianxing was thoughtful, recalling Jiang Xiaotan's first impression of her as an extremely sunny and optimistic child. She could feel that she grew up in that kind of warm family, but she didn't think about her and herself. Same parents died.
"Does Xiao Tan know?"
"She doesn't know, we are going to tell her when she is an adult, it is too young for her."
Ji Lianxing nodded, agreeing with this point of view. Although children are young and don't understand many things, they are actually quite sensitive, especially when it comes to this kind of thing. They should not be too hasty, and they must be careful to avoid psychological problems during their growth.
The car drove out of the city and entered the suburbs.
"By the way, maybe my parents will invite you to sit at home later."
"Ah?" Ji Lianxing became cramped in an instant, but what Jiang Shu said reminded her that she was going to see her parents! ! !
“Forgot to buy something!!!”
Ji Lianxing looked out the window and found that the car had already driven out of the city, surrounded by bungalows and few places to sell things.
"You don't need to buy anything. My parents don't care about that." Jiang Shu felt that Ji Lianxing seemed a little nervous, and comforted her: "My parents are very good-natured, and I will introduce you as my friend later. .”
Jiang Shu spoke calmly, but Ji Lianxing's nervousness only increased.
Perhaps because of the lack of getting along with the elders, Ji Lianxing will feel scared.
For example, when she was in high school, she went to Yu Meng's house. Yu Meng's parents were obviously nice and enthusiastic, but Ji Lianxing was just afraid, even trembling when she spoke.
Subconsciously, I am afraid that I will not perform well and leave a bad impression on my elders. This is accumulated over a long period of time, and it is difficult to change.
"Don't be nervous, little hedgehog, we won't be here for long, just sit for ten minutes and leave."
"Ah."
After driving for nearly half an hour, I finally arrived at a small bungalow in the outskirts. The design of the bungalow is very elegant, and it can be seen that the owner has a very high taste.
Ji Lianxing was really surprised by the small garden in front of the gate. The vitality brought by the plants was too strong. When I opened the door and entered, I felt like I was in a sea of flowers, as if I was dreaming.
"My parents love to grow flowers." Jiang Shu pointed to the corner of the fence, "Look at this box of gemstone flowers, they just planted them when I came back last week."
"Gem flower!" Ji Lianxing squatted down and reached out to gently touch the lavender petals, "I used to have a lot of them in my house, and they grew very luxuriantly, and they were all on the roof railing."
Jiang Shu looked at her, smiled and said, "Do you like it? Take it back if you like it."
Ji Lianxing withdrew her hand and shook her head, "It's good to put it here, it's so lively with its partners, it seems a bit lonely with me."
"Shushu!!! Sister Hedgehog!!!"
If you haven't seen him, hear his voice first.
Jiang Xiaotan's immature voice was very penetrating, and then she was seen running towards this side in a yellow jacket.
Jiang Xiaotan ran towards the two with her hands open, with a happy laugh out of her throat. She stepped on the small cobblestone road and ran faster and faster.
"Slow down!" Before Jiang Shu's voice reached Jiang Xiaotan's ears, Jiang Xiaotan staggered and fell directly onto the hard rock.
Her smile instantly turned into a crying face.
"Ah whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa..."
Jiang Shu and Ji Lianxing ran towards her almost at the same time, and helped Jiang Xiaotan up at the same time, but she still cried, and the loud crying sound penetrated into their ears, comparable to a triple orchestra playing in unison.
"Hey, don't cry..." Jiang Shu patted Jiang Xiaotan on the back.
"Woooooo...I, I hurt...I can't bear it!!!"
"Be strong, I'll show you." Jiang Shu lifted up Jiang Xiaotan's trouser legs. Fortunately, she wore thick trousers, so it was only slightly scratched.
But children's ability to bear the pain is too weak, Jiang Xiaotan is still crying, and Jiang Shu rarely coaxes others, and doesn't know what to say except those few words.
But Ji Lianxing had to be more patient. She took Jiang Xiaotan's hand and hugged her into her arms.
"Does it still hurt?" The tone was quite gentle, and children liked it very much.
Jiang Xiaotan nodded, with tears in his eyes, "It hurts."
"Sister, will you blow it up for you?"
"it is good."
"It won't hurt anymore." Ji Lianxing blew on Jiang Xiaotan's knee a few times, and Jiang Xiaotan felt icy cold. After blowing, Ji Lianxing added: "The few blows just now I just gave you medicine, and you'll be fine soon."
After being fooled, Jiang Xiaotan still looked serious, nodding to show that the pain really didn't hurt that much.
Jiang Shu, who was standing by the side, was stunned for a moment. It seemed that Ji Lianxing was better at coaxing children than she was.
"It doesn't hurt, does it? It doesn't hurt, let's go into the room." Jiang Shu stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Xiaotan, but Jiang Xiaotan withdrew his hand, turned around and threw himself into Ji Lianxing's arms.
"Sister Hedgehog, I need a hug!"
Although Ji Lianxing, who was called the hedgehog, was a little embarrassed, she didn't know where Jiang Xiaotan heard it, but she couldn't resist the spoiled child at all, so she hugged Jiang Xiaotan in her arms again.
"Okay, sister hugs you."
Standing aside, Jiang Shu frowned. Seeing Jiang Xiaotan happily in Ji Lianxing's arms, holding hands and hugging, Ji Lianxing didn't treat her so well, did he?
"Jiang Xiaotan, you really know how to act like a baby!" Jiang Shu opened his hands, trying to take Jiang Xiaotan into his arms.
"Shushu doesn't need your hug, I want my sister to hug her." The chubby put his arms around Ji Lianxing's neck tightly, and even kissed her face.
Jiang Shu's hand hanging in the air was retracted again, feeling that... this Jiang Xiaotan was too coquettish!That's her little hedgehog!
"Where's grandpa and grandma!" Jiang Shu's tone carried a subtle feeling.
"I'm making breakfast!"
Jiang Shu sneaked a glance at Ji Lianxing, then at Jiang Xiaotan.
"Get inside, hurry up."
Ji Lianxing cooperated very well, following Jiang Shu into the house, her steps were fast, because she could hardly hold her anymore, and Xiao Tan was really heavy.
Fortunately, at the entrance, Jiang Xiaotan was successfully picked up by Jiang Shu, otherwise his arm strength would really fail.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Jiang Shu beckoned to Ji Lianxing, pulled her over, and said to the second elder in the kitchen, "This is the friend I told you about."
Ji Lianxing stood next to Jiang Shu, his eyes fell on the kitchen corridor, and soon two figures came from the glass door, the one holding the spatula was Jiang Yidong, and the one wearing an apron was Zhou Xuelan.
"Hello, Uncle and Aunt~"
"Hey! Hello, hello!" Jiang Yidong shook the spatula in his hand and greeted Ji Lianxing. His facial expression was quite kind, which made Ji Lianxing's nervousness dissipate a lot.
Zhou Xuelan was not as active as Jiang Yidong, and her personality was a little more restrained, but the smile on her face remained unchanged, with a faint smile on her lips, beckoning the two of them to enter the room.
"Come in and sit down~ have you had breakfast?"
"I've eaten." Jiang Shu and Ji Lianxing said in unison. They turned their heads and looked at each other with a smile. Jiang Shu added in a low voice: "We still have a tacit understanding?"
She dragged Ji Lianxing to sit on the sofa.
There was a faint smell of corn from the kitchen, and the elder seemed to be making corn cakes for Jiang Xiaotan.
After a few seconds, Jiang Yidong's head appeared again, and he said with a smile, "Have you really eaten it? Do you want to eat some more?"
Ji Lianxing just met his gaze, and she didn't know how to refuse, but she was indeed not hungry.
Jiang Shu was the first to answer for her: "Dad, I really can't eat anymore. You should feed Xiao Tan quickly. We will go to see brother later."
When he said "Brother", the smile on Jiang Yidong's face froze for a moment, and it took only a second for him to return to his original appearance.
"If you don't eat cakes, you can also drink some porridge. It will be ready soon."
Five minutes later, Jiang Xiaotan came to the table to eat. The breakfast prepared for her was very rich, including porridge, cakes, yogurt and fruit, which is called a balanced diet.
Adults seem to have no appetite, but children eat well.
"The flowers I prepared for your brother will be brought with me when I go out later. They are the white chrysanthemums I planted last year." Zhou Xuelan said.
"Well, by the way, Mom, the gemstone flowers on the outside gate are quite beautiful, pick one for me later, and I will raise it when I go back."
Hearing Jiang Shu say this, Ji Lianxing shifted to Jiang Shu unconsciously, her eyes just met Jiang Shu's, she saw the answer in Jiang Shu's eyes, the jewel flower was for her.
"Like it? I like to take the whole box." Zhou Xuelan is bold, and has never been stingy with her children when it comes to her belongings.
Ji Lianxing was silent, listening to them, drinking porridge quietly, although not hungry.
She observed secretly, and felt that Zhou Xuelan had an elegant temperament, very clean, not delicate and artificial, and this elder gave her a very comfortable feeling.
"By the way, Jiang Shu, why don't you introduce your friend?" Zhou Xuelan raised his eyes, looked at Ji Lianxing, and smiled at her.
The topic suddenly shifted to himself, Ji Lianxing was a little caught off guard, and hurriedly introduced himself: "Auntie, my surname is Ji, Ji Lianxing, just call me Xiaoji."
"Oh, Xiao Ji, it's good. You and Jiang Shu have just been together, right?" Zhou Xuelan said so naturally.
But it was such a simple sentence that completely confused Ji Lianxing.
If I remember correctly, when Jiang Shu entered the room, he introduced "friends", right?Between friends, would you use "together" to describe it?
etc!together!Does Jiang Shu's mother know——
Ji Lianxing shot Jiang Shu a look for help, but she didn't know how to answer.
"Pfft, Mom." Jiang Shu put one hand on the back of Zhou Xuelan's hand and patted it, "I just said that Xiao Ji is my friend."
"Oh~~" Zhou Xuelan showed an apologetic expression, "I misunderstood your relationship."
Jiang Yidong coaxed Jiang Xiaotan to eat the whole time, and he only interrupted when this topic came up:
"By the way, you'll be thirty in the next year, shouldn't it be time for a stable relationship? Even if you have a girlfriend, bring one home?"
"I know, but I can't find anyone I like." Jiang Shu blurted out.
The film in Ji Lianxing's hand trembled, her lips were tightly pressed, and she lowered her head to drink the porridge.
Just now Jiang Shu's expression was so natural, showing his true feelings to her family, so the sentence "I can't find someone I like" is from the heart, right?
She was indeed just a sexual tool in Jiang Shu's eyes. Although he knew it, he still felt uncomfortable when he heard those words.
Jiang Shu also seemed to realize something, hurriedly went to look at Ji Lianxing, and found that there seemed to be something wrong with her expression, and then realized that she seemed to be talking too fast just now.
"Dad, Mom, don't worry about my affairs." Jiang Shu glanced at Jiang Xiaotan impatiently, "Have you finished eating? We're leaving after eating."
Jiang Xiaotan put down the bowl and chopsticks, expressing that he was very interested in going out, "It's over, it's over, it's over!!!!"
*
In autumn, the sun is shining brightly, and the sun's rays are not stingy on the palm trees on the road, and the trunks are covered with a layer of golden light.
The car was galloping on the asphalt road, and Jiang Xiaotan obediently sat in the co-pilot watching cartoons on Jiang Shu's mobile phone.
Ji Lianxing sat in the back seat, which was requested by her.
Driving in the suburbs, the speed is faster than in the city. Ji Lianxing stared sideways out of the window, one palm tree after another quickly passed in front of his eyes, and the sunlight poured into the gaps in the leaves from the branches, forming a gleaming Milky Way.
Jiang Shu didn't speak, neither did Ji Lianxing.
Their silence started from the phrase "I can't find someone I like".
How long is this road?
Ji Lianxing looked at this straight asphalt road, as if it had no end.
What about her?How long is this illusory relationship with Jiang Shu, which seems to be love but is actually nothing?
Ji Lianxing understood that she still had expectations for Jiang Shu after all.
At the moment of kissing her and hugging her to sleep, she really had that illusion.
She even thought, would Jiang Shu have a little affection for her?
Sure enough, once people are not awake, they will have delusions, how is it possible?Finding truth in a game is as absurd as finding a flower in a fig.
"Little hedgehog." Jiang Shu spoke first.
She has looked at Ji Lianxing several times from the rearview mirror, and she doesn't know what she is thinking, maybe it has something to do with what happened just now.
"Ok?"
"What are you thinking?"
Ji Lianxing propped his chin with one hand, and looked out the window the whole time, "I don't think about anything, let go."
Jiang Xiaotan's cartoon made childish fighting sounds. She was immersed in the world of cartoons, and she didn't understand the emotions between these two adults at all.
"Do not misunderstand."
"will not."
So the atmosphere became more silent.
After driving for 10 minutes, Ji Lianxing was a little tired when she arrived at the cemetery. She suddenly felt sleepy and wanted to have a good sleep.
Jiang Shu took out the bouquets from the trunk. There were two bouquets in total, both of which were brightly blooming white chrysanthemums.
"Little hedgehog." Jiang Shu called Ji Lianxing, "Don't be in a daze, keep up."
The cemetery is a modern cemetery, neatly planned and cleaned by someone who needs to pay a regular fee, so it is also very clean.
There was a smell of smoke in the air.Jiang Xiaotan walked between the two adults, looking around like a curious baby, but he didn't even feel scared.
"Shushu, how long is it?"
"Ahead, we'll be there soon."
"You didn't bring me here last year, hum."
"You were sick last year, why did I bring you here?" Jiang Shu stopped in front of a tombstone, with a black and white photo embedded on it, the man in the photo had a handsome face, his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Jiang Shu's.
"Father!" Jiang Xiaotan yelled at the man in the photo, his eyes fell on the tombstone next door, and he yelled again: "Dad!"
Jiang Shu handed the two bouquets of white chrysanthemums to Jiang Xiaotan and asked her to put the flowers in front of the two tombstones.
"Shushu, why are these two my fathers?"
"I'll tell you when I grow up."
"Then why don't grandparents come every time?"
"They will be sad."
"Then why aren't you sad?"
Jiang Shu touched Jiang Xiaotan's head and smiled helplessly, "You are the one with a hundred thousand reasons."
Ji Lianxing, who was standing by the side, was a little at a loss when she heard it. One hundred thousand reasons reminded her of last night, a night with dreamy elements, as pale and powerless as its essence.
The atmosphere in the cemetery was a bit dull, and Ji Lianxing had no desire to speak. She thought of her uncle, or her mother again. Looking at the photo on the tombstone, she began to think, is the tombstone a kind of shackle for the dead?It would be better to be burned to ashes than to be pressed into the narrow soil and to sleep forever in the ground.
"You seem to be in a bad mood." Jiang Shu said.
"A little bit." Ji Lianxing pursed her lips, her face pale.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have brought you here, it reminded you of unhappy things."
"It's not because of this." Ji Lianxing lowered her head, she wanted to ignore the loss, but the loss still climbed up in her heart, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter what.
"That's because of that sentence." Jiang Shu said bluntly: "Because of that sentence, you are unhappy."
"No." Ji Lianxing's lips turned pale, and his palms were sweating, "I may be a little motion sick."
"Of course I like you." Jiang Shu put a hand on her shoulder, comforting her, "Don't think too much."
"Boss Jiang, don't do this."
Jiang Xiaotan had sharp ears, heard it, and said with a smile: "I like you too!!!"
How perfect is the child's world, you can see how happy she is smiling.
*
In the evening, Ji Lianxing still goes to the bar to sing. Saturday is usually her home game, and it is also the day when she makes the most money.
Familiar venue, hearing those few songs that make ears callused, and singing those few songs with tired voice, Ji Lianxing is a little tired of this kind of life, when will it be the end?
"Hi everyone, I'm Bella, long time no see, do you remember me?"
Even the opening remarks were exactly the same, the fanatical fans in the audience shouted hysterically, and Ji Lianxing sang one song after another until fireworks exploded on the screen behind him.
Mr. Zhang at the VIP booth threw another 20 fireworks, which was the one from last week, Mr. Zhang Mingyue.
"Mr. Zhang, what song do you want to hear?"
Zhang Mingyue at the booth raised a hand and greeted Ji Lianxing.
"I like everything you sing."
There was a burst of cheers from the audience, but there were also disdainful slaps.
"Bella is ours. Listen to music as soon as you listen to it, order what you want, what's so greasy!"
Mr. Wang next to Zhang Mingyue was very arrogant, and shouted at the students downstairs: "Huang Mao boy, do you believe that I can kill you with money?"
"It's amazing to have bad money!"
So Zhang Mingyue threw another 20 fireworks and asked the boys downstairs with a smile:
"Is it your living expenses for a semester?"
"Hahahaha-"
"Fuck, lethal blow!!!"
"Awesome, rich and willful!"
The man booed for a while, and the scene became uncontrollable. Ji Lianxing had a headache. In order to avoid unnecessary quarrels, she blew on the microphone:
"Mr. Zhang, I give you the song "Wish You Happy Everyday"."
The atmosphere eased a little, Ji Lianxing continued to sing the whole song patiently, and went to the backstage for an intermission.
The person who replaced her was Willow. At the beginning, Jiang Shu was introduced to someone she knew, and the two had a face-to-face meeting. Ji Lianxing was sitting on a stool drinking water. Now she tries to avoid talking to Willow, because it will be awkward.
As a result, Willow stopped her:
"Xiao Ji, let's discuss something."
"what?"
"Boss Zhang asked you for WeChat."
"Reject it for me, thank you."
"He said to invite you to dinner, do you think about it?"
"Not consider."
"Row."
Here Willow is walking reluctantly, his face is full of you sure?
Ji Lianxing pretended to drink water and didn't look at her expression. She was very sad, probably Willow had already classified her as the type of person who "just give money", otherwise he wouldn't have introduced Zhang Mingyue.
Going to see Jiang Shu was the decision Ji Lianxing regretted the most.
Rich, gentle, and a woman, and then went, Ji Lianxing felt that she was really stupid at that time.
The bar continued to play music again and again, and the harsh sound hit Ji Lianxing's eardrums. The feeling that she didn't belong here became stronger and stronger, and she even wanted to leave, if it wasn't for the money.
Money, money again.
Ji Lianxing took a sip of water and walked into the work room to rest.After sitting for a while, a person came in outside.
Visually, he is in his 30s, with a suit and shiny leather shoes, giving people the feeling that he has just left work.He was thin, tall, and sharp-looking, with pomaded hair that looked greasy in the flickering colored lights.
He walked towards Ji Lianxing, and when he was five or six meters away, Ji Lianxing realized that this person was the one who tipped her, Zhang Mingyue.
"Mr. Zhang." Ji Lianxing put down the water in his hand and stood up.
"Hello, beauty." Zhang Mingyue took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of small eyes with an ambiguous light in them. He stretched out a hand, wanting to shake hands with Ji Lianxing.
Ji Lianxing didn't hold it, and stepped back without a trace, keeping a distance from him, "Hello, what's the matter?"
"How do you think about that?"
That thing, well, stinks.
When he spoke, there was a smell of garlic in his mouth, and Ji Lianxing was a little suffocated. When he saw his smile, his stomach turned upside down and he felt quite sick.
"Sorry, I have a date." Ji Lianxing pinched the phone and observed the surrounding situation. There were people at the dressing table and security guards at the door. Zhang Mingyue should not dare to do anything.
"I heard that you used to accompany me to the hotel. Does your boyfriend know what happened not long ago?" He smiled smugly.
It only took Ji Lianxing a second to realize that it was Willow who said it, and she answered in silence, not wanting to explain too much.
"It's okay, you can think about it." Zhang Mingyue smiled, "I like you very much. If you are not satisfied with the price, you can change it."
"Mr. Zhang, did I speak clearly?" Ji Lianxing couldn't help it, she was afraid that she would slap this man in the face.
"I can see that you are very good at pretending." Zhang Mingyue wanted to get close to Ji Lianxing, and Ji Lianxing quickly distanced himself from him.
"This is our workshop. You interrupted my work. There are security guards at the door."
Zhang Mingyue's small eyes widened, as if he didn't insult Ji Lianxing, he was in a very uncomfortable mood, he turned around and saw that there was indeed a security guard at the door.
"Think about it? 15, which is more money than you can make by singing."
"Security, please deal with it." Ji Lianxing beckoned to the security personnel, who immediately came in and invited Zhang Mingyue out.
"Yo, you can really pretend, I like it." Zhang Mingyue yelled at Ji Lianxing before going out, and the air was full of the smell of garlic left by him.
Ji Lianxing was so smoked that she was in a bad mood, and she herself was not in a good mood today. The appearance of Zhang Mingyue pulled her mood to the bottom.
After singing in the second half, I dragged my tired body out of the bar, only to find that it was already raining, and the door was full of people who took taxis. There were more than 100 taxi-hailing software queues. It seemed that there would be no taxis for a while.
Ji Lianxing ran to the convenience store opposite to buy an umbrella, and was about to walk to Jiang Shu's house, which would take about ten minutes.
The rain was not heavy, not to the extent of a heavy rain, but the air was a little humid and the temperature was a little low.
The raindrops slapped on the umbrella surface, and the cold wind penetrated into Ji Lianxing's sleeves, making her whole body icy cold.
In her head is still Zhang Mingyue's face just now, which is almost as disgusting as Ji Siyu's. The longer she sang in the bar, she felt that there are actually many men like them, which strengthened Ji Lianxing's idea that she must work hard Money, independent self-improvement, never attached to others.
"I'm not fucking drunk at all! Believe it or not, I can still blow two bottles! It's so trivial!!!" A drunk man across the road yelled loudly.
That's right, besides lust, he also likes to disturb the people and brag.
Ji Lianxing lowered his head and quickened his pace, his eyes fell on the ground, watching his feet go forward and then forward, not wanting to stop for a second.
The footsteps became faster and faster, and the ground made a rattling sound.Walking at the corner of the street, she bumped into a hug, and a burst of fragrance penetrated into her nostrils.
"Walking so fast without looking at the road?"
Ji Lianxing raised his head, his eyes fell into the dark brown pupils, gentle as the sea, it was Jiang Shu.
"It's raining." Ji Lianxing put the umbrella on top of Jiang Shu's head, "Why don't you take an umbrella?"
"It wasn't raining when I came to pick you up." Jiang Shu took the umbrella and turned into her holding an umbrella for Ji Lianxing.
"Why pick me up."
The two walked side by side, Jiang Shu put one hand on Ji Lianxing's shoulder and pulled her into his arms, and held her an umbrella with the other hand, the umbrella surface was obviously inclined to Ji Lianxing's side.
"Silly, why pick you up, pick you up and go home."
"I can go home if you don't pick me up." Ji Lianxing's tone was a little cold, she felt that her tone was a little girlish, as if she was still angry about what happened in the morning, she couldn't help it.
"I want to pick you up, so you'll be safer." Jiang Shu had a smile in her eyes, she noticed that Ji Lianxing's nose was red, she probably felt cold because of too little clothes, "Are you still angry about what happened in the morning? "
"No, what happened in the morning?" Ji Lianxing admired his duplicity.
"Pfft." Jiang Shu pinched Ji Lianxing's cheek, "You have an unnatural expression when you're lying."
Ji Lianxing stopped talking.
But she was happy in her heart, because Jiang Shu came to pick her up.
"Actually, I was fooling my mother by saying that in the morning. She is always nagging me about my relationship."
"Oh."
"How about I tell her that you are my girlfriend next time?"
"No." Ji Lianxing's voice was shaking from the cold.
Jiang Shu took her coat and wrapped her in his arms, it was as cold as ice.
"Look, you don't want to."
"I'm not a couple, why do you say I'm your girlfriend?"
"Actually, I quite like you, little hedgehog."
Ji Lianxing's heart trembled, she seemed to be teased by Jiang Shu's words, but she felt that there was a high probability that it was false.
"You're always joking."
"No kidding."
"I do not believe."
At this time, a taxi sped past on the street, setting off a burst of water, which splashed on Jiang Shu's pants.
"Look, I don't even believe in taxis."
"Eh? I got wet, you're talking sarcastic, little hedgehog."
"When it's wet, it's wet, and I didn't get wet."
"Huh?" Jiang Shu cast a look.
Ji Lianxing received the signal, realized something, and regretted what he said without thinking.
"Go home soon, it's raining heavily." Ji Lianxing quickened his pace, his cheeks were hot.
Instead of following her, Jiang Shu shook the water from the umbrella onto her body, obviously on purpose.
Ji Lianxing stopped in disbelief, "Boss Jiang! You wet me!!!"
"Sorry, my fault."
"You deliberately."
Jiang Shu laughed out loud, "I didn't."
